Hi all, I went to the Elizabeth Magistrates Court today, court room 1 at 2.15pm and sat in the public gallery and listened to cases until 2.50pm (I had an appointment to get to at 3pm). In the time that I was there, there was no mention of the Rowe case or the accused. There was no media there at all, only one police officer lurking around and generally not many people around (not like last time....it was packed when the accused appeared). I did see a video conference with an offender appearing on the 'big screen', however it was an entirely different case. Throughout the various cases being heard, the magistrate did make references to changes in the scheduling of cases for today (eg "well this case was supposed to be heard at 10am this morning but has been rescheduled for this afternoon").
I guess there are a number of scenarios here....the case may have been heard early this morning (which I doubt because surely we would've heard something), after 2.50pm when I left (which I doubt because again we probably would've heard something by now), it could've been heard in another location/court room (but again we probably would've heard something by now) or it has been rescheduled for another day....?
Does anyone have a copy of the listing for the Elizabeth Magistrates court today? I've been on the web to have a look but they now have tomorrow's listing on there.
Sorry guys...how disappointing....
